It was possible to detect attomolar levels of the dye - even though the DR has not yet been specifically optimized for use with PBXL-1 (ex. max = 545 nm, em. max = 666 nm).

| PBXL fluorophors (Martek Biosciences Corporation)are based around light-harvesting proteins isolated from cyanobacteria and red algae. They deliver up to 1400 chromophores per binding event without signal processing, signal amplification or enzyme substrates. Available as a variety of conjugates with either streptavidin, or IgG, PBXL dyes can be used in numerous blotting and immunoassay applications that previously required more tedious enzyme amplification methods. | |||

PBXL-1 directly spotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (kindly provided by Dr. Thomas Allnutt, Martek Biosciences) was imaged using a DR45 transilluminator and a basic CCD camera system. The results of the digital analysis are plotted on the right. It was possible to detect attomolar levels of the dye - even though the DR has not yet been specifically optimized for use with PBXL-1 (ex. max = 545 nm, em. max = 666 nm). |
